NoLED

I hope you mean this fixes my cycling on and off problem. Right now NoLed is useless for me.:(:(:(:(:(:(

EDIT: I just placed my phone on the charger and NoLed is working as it's supposed to. I'll check the longpress option as soon as I get a notification to test. But I can't leave the phone on the charger all the time just to get NoLed to work!

EDIT: *Sigh* Confirmed! Pulled the phone off the charger and let it time out=screen rotating off and on and NoLed fails to initialize. Plug charger back in, all is well.:(:(:(:(:(

EDIT: If I use the double tap option to dismiss NoLed while it is working on the charger, it turns itself back on like it's supposed to. If I dismiss with the Home button, the phone acts as if the "Stay Awake While Charging" setting is applied, which it is not.:(:(:(:(:(

EDIT: More strangness. I turned off the "Fast Charge" feature in NSTools with the phone still connected to the charger, and at first, for three cycles in fact, the screen cycled on and off. Then the fourth time NoLed initialized and I got a notification from Email. Longpress did not work for two or three tries as I chased the Icon around the screen. Then the next longpress=double vibrate and Email app opened.:eek::eek::eek:

EDIT: Last test, took the phone off the charger with "Fast Charge" off and back to the screen cycling on and off again. So, with "Fast Charge" on or off while on charger=NoLed works fine. Off of charger will not work. WTF!!!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
hold on man. I fixed the problem in code and it isn't released yet. expect 6.0.2 to fix this FC issue for you. I'll release that sometime later today.

its Cool...

hey, I like ur work.....thanks for this awesome app. :)
[Android Apps and Games] grb:
No, I'm sorry for not being more specific. The backlight buttons only come on when NoLed kicks in. Everythings working o.k., it's just that the backlights are staying on too and I'm concerned it's going to run my battery down sooner.

Thanks again

Me and my colleagues have the following issue, basically we went into the app notification Page and flagged telephone, but now we get the telephone icon notification with a number, usually higher than 3,when for for example the phone g so into roaming. Was telephone the wrong app to flag to get missed call notifications? We didn't use the normal missed calls check box because we wanted the actual phone icon to show up.

Cheers all!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
v6.0.2a is out ! Grab it from OP. Change log on 2nd post.

crap. that sounds bad and difficult to debug.

I have a question, do you know of any app that wakes the screen to display something? Can you see if the backlights turn on and stay on if you call your phone while the screen is completely shut down?

Phone is probably updating the status bar multiple times when you receive a missed call.

You can do multiple things really:

1. Use the filters feature. Go to Advanced > Log. Enable it. Then after receiving a missed call, go back to that log and see if you have distinguish between the three missed call events under app Phone. You need to look at the "text" field. If you were able to find a unique string that happens only once, go to monitored apps again. long press on phone and put that string as your filter.

2. Enable missed calls from noled and use theming to use the default phone icon. you can see what naming scheme you need to follow by going to the website.

3. Disable the numbers on the top right completely by selecting Black as the color for Others under the Colors submenu.
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
BLN. Make sure that is turned off.
[Android Apps and Games] grb:
The button backlights do come on when I call the phone and they turn back off when the screen turns back off. I can't think of any other app I have that will turn the screen on, so I can't test that.

FYI, the button backlights work like there supposed to when the screen is on.

BLN? What is that?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
well, if the backlights do turn on whenever you switch the screen on then I can't really help you because there isn't an API for me to use to turn them off. On our devices and on my testing units, the backlights either a) never turn on because I have disabled them via samsung stock display options or b) switch on and timeout after a second or two.
[Android Apps and Games] grb:
If I manually turn the screen on with the button on top of the phone the backlights do not turn on.

NoLED

Sorry, I thought there were two different issues. The cycling on and off had me going crazy.:o:o:o
[Android Apps and Games] vinu_h:
Nice app.

Although, I'm occasionally getting errors/lags on my i9000 when I try to run it. Hope the next release fixes this.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

Still not quite working properly. Testing in the app works flawlessly. Now outside the app the phone cycles between being open with no lockscreen and displaying the black "screen off". The NoLed screen can be seen for a split second and then its back to the open phone with no lock screen, repeat. Plugged into charger, works fine although no notification to test yet.

What I did was place the new version on my SD card, went into Manage Apps and deleted cache for NoLed, rebooted in recovery and deleted dalvik cache, rebooted phone and installed new .apk. Should I delete all data too and start over?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
There is a difference between turning the screen on manually and having an app start it up for you. I believe your device does not shut these backlights off whenever an app wakes the screen. In any case, I'm not able to fix that because I'm not aware of any method to override what your ROM is doing.

Try 6.0.2a. See if you still get errors/lags.

Are you using Blink or Proximity sensor? Is the phone displaying your screen and then shutting off automatically I mean?

If you want to try stock settings, you can make use of the backup/restore feature. Simply backup NoLED first, then go to Advanced and reset to stock. The next time you launch NoLED it'll ask you to restore settings, select No.

Play around with stock settings and see if things work better. Once you're done, you can roll back your previous settings by going to the Restore/backup menu again.

I'm not able to replicate that behavior here exactly but I'm suspecting some things to be the culprit. If the "show lock screen" and "turning off" is not happening automatically but are a result of you pressing on the power button, then I might be able to fix it. Otherwise I think I'll have to give you a debug version so you can logcat that thing for me :)
[Android Apps and Games] Charmed :):
I've been trying to get this experimental launch apps from NoLED feature, but I can't get it to work. In test mode, phone vibrates when clicking on icon, but when eg. real missed call shows, clicking on it does nothing (even several times), not even vibrate.

Am I doing something wrong?

(i9001 stock)

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] entaled:
Are you tapping (clicking?) or holding down? You need to keep your finger in the same spot even if the icon moves around.
[Android Apps and Games] mimmori:
beautiful application!

It would be perfect to have the possibility to notify the missed calls and messages with the buttons backlight.

Have you ever thought to implement this feature?
[Android Apps and Games] Charmed :):
Done that, nothing hapens...

Blocking the home key by any chance? Go to misc > dismiss keys and enable the Home button. (I'll automate this in the future because these two settings conflict with each other)

Not possible without root and some kernel modification. Google around for BLN if you're interested in that.
[Android Apps and Games] Charmed :):
Thank you, that was the problem, I only had the back button enabled. Working perfect now! :-)

[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
No, I was not unless I did so by accident.

I've totally wiped and re-installed my ROM. I also re-installed the test version of NoLed without doing any custom settings so it's all stock. I've gotten two sms messages today, and had a tiny blue dot on the screen. I have to assume from that that it is working on a basic level. I will now set it up as before and see if it still works.

EDIT: So far it doesn't look good. I've totally set up and dismissed with the power button and allowed the screen to time-out on its own and the behaviour is excactly the same. Cycling between my locksreen and a black screen, and this is with the charger on.

EDIT: Now a fluke. I had sent myself an email to test some minutes before I did the above. Email is set to sync every fifteen minutes. I dismissed with the power button again to be sure and when on the black screen I got the normal audio notification from the phone that I had received an email. This was while the phone was still on the black screen. As soon as the sound chirped once, the NoLed screen came on immediately with the time, weather and email icons properly displayed. I longpressed on the email icon and the second time I got the two vibrations and the email app opened. I dismissed with the power button again after reading the email and it is back to cycling between lockscreen and black screen when the time and weather icons should be showing.

EDIT: A reboot after settings made and it works as it should while on the charger, but not while off.
[Android Apps and Games] Charmed :):
One more thing, sms icon opens stock sms instead of gosms. Any idea why? Tried playing with monitored apps but nothig there.

Sent from my GT-I9001
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Oh man, dismiss with power button is the root cause of all of this misery. I say use another way to dismiss NoLED because this is indeed flaky and I even advise against it in the tutorial and on the web site.

Disable the "dismiss with power button". See if things come back to normal. Let me know if they don't.

Yea I know. I've hard coded that stuff into v6.x for now. That was the easy part, I need to figure out a nice way for people to override these settings in the already-cluttered GUI. I'll look into that today :)

Did you try enabling GoSMS from Monitored Apps instead? That should get you straight to GoSMS if the GoSMS icon does indeed appear on your screen. Don't forget to disable SMS from the main toggle menu.
[Android Apps and Games] Charmed :):
Thank you :)

I enabled GoSms in monitored apps, and with sms/mms checked on and off, no notification appeared.

But, after an hour or so, icon for gosms appeared...I don't know why, but now I can't get it to appear again.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
lol, it's a "race condition". Sometimes GoSMS wins, and some other times NoLED. GoSMS is very obtrusive in that it likes to take over whatever foreground app is on the screen. If NoLED triggered first and then GoSMS, well, you end up having GoSMS dismiss NoLED prematurely. Play around with the Delay All setting under Misc. Maybe this can fix the issue for you. Set it to 1 second.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

Sorry, that was a bad choice of words. I didn't mean I was dismissing NoLed with the power button, but closing the screen using the power button while the phone is awake and letting the screen time-out on its own then seeing if NoLed would enable. I've never used the power button option to dismiss NoLed. Debug version? I'm ready.:(
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
attached is a debug version.

just to reiterate the problem:

the screen, when it times out, starts again and shows a lockscreen. Then it times out again and cycles.

This can only happen if you're charging and you've selected the charging indicator, or if you've selected permanent time display. Do you have either of those checked? I need to be able to replicate exactly what settings you have. You said initially things worked fine. So you'll need to figure what setting triggered that cycling behavior by enabling disabling one option at a time.

I have an idea. Go to NoLED settings > restore/backup and create a backup. Then send me the backup file that you'll see in your sdcard. it's an xml file under the /sdcard/NoLED directory. Attach it here, pastebin it or [ code ] it.

I'll be waiting for your logcat too with the 6.0.2a version :)
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

Yes.

Yes to both.

I think it started with 5.2.1b Anyways, here is the requested .xml

EDIT: Incidentally, I did a reboot today to free up cache and since NoLed is set to start automatically, I started before I could turn it off. It was displaying fine with a Gmail notification present. I turned off the screen with the power button, then hit power again to turn the screen on. Time, weather and the Gmail Icon still displayed. Dismissed with back button, screen timed out and back to cycling-NoLed will not enable.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
damn. . permanent time display is completely broken :rolleyes: and I haven't received any reports about that. I think it broke in v6.x though because I have no reports of malfunction from the play store version. I guess you can tell how much I really use that feature. lol

try the attached apk. hopefully its patched up correctly this time. i gotta admit though, you have an interesting and a little unusual use-case of noled ;) if you continue to have any problems, lay out the steps so I can try to replicate the issue like I did this time :)
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

Debug version installed after cearing data and cache for non-debug version of NoLed (in settings>manage apps) uninstalling (in settings>manage apps), and a reboot. Re-installed NoLed settings when prompted, but forgot to double check. Seems ok.

First log sent: Off charger, phone alowed to time out on its own. Cycling between lockscreen and black screen, NoLed no initializing. Then closed screen with power button, surprisingly NoLed initializes. Closed screen with power button, NoLed re-initializes with the lockscreen appearing for a second first. Did this twice. Then dismissed NoLed with back button and closed screen with power button, back to cycling.

Second log sent: On charger, NoLed initializes if you allow the screen to time out on its own, or if you close the screen with the power button. Works fine in both instances and in both instances if you close the the screen using power button while NoLed is displaying, it still displays if you reopen screen using power button.

Third log sent: I hope to catch a notification while the phone is charged and NoLed is working as it should, then I will test the longpress function and send this log too. Finally got a email that I sent to myself, multiple longpresses failed to initiate opening of Email app. Will attempt with Gmail to be certain. Side note: NoLed not catching Gmail although I have it selected in Monitored apps and not in either of the two checkboxes in the settings menu.

Sorry for writing so much, just trying to be thorough. Will pastebin as soon as I capture that notification.

[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Raymond, can you try the apk I attached to the post just before yours. Let me know if NoLED cycles on v6.0.3a
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

How the heck did I miss that post, lol!!! I'm usually very careful about picking up where I left off. Wasted a whole night I could have been testing. I'll install this when I get back from my errands.:eek:
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

So far it looks real good, Madmack. I installed the new verion and am testing it with my phone unplugged. The permanent time display and NoLed weather initiated fine, although it did seem to stick for some seconds on the lockscreen first. I sent myself an email to test the longpress function. Waiting for it to show up.:)

EDIT: This first test was mixed results. I had the screen closed with the power button when my email came in. Heard the adroid notification, but the NoLed audio notification did not start until I opened the screen with the power button. Longpressing the icon did nothing. It still works fine in the menu, however, when you test it. I'll repeat and take another logacat.

EDIT: Sorry for the length of this logcat, I forgot to set the email sync time down to five minutes for imap email. What you need is at the end, I'm sure. Anyways, the longpress funtion is still not working.

[Android Apps and Games] karthikcs:
Amazing app. I volunteer to test this. I have installed v6.0.3a. Will update with my experience

First Observation:

Long press test: (Phone was getting charged)

1. First time with a long press, nothing happens. I feel a small vibration when I tap on icon couple of times and then with a long press, it opens correctly

2. There seem to be a security Issue: I have a pattern screen lock. but when I long press, it directly opens the app breaking my security :)
[Android Apps and Games] t00dy:
I can confirm both of the statements. For the second I must say, either you are an awesome hacker, or the android security has some huge loopholes :-\ actually I quite like that I don't have to enter the pattern, but on the other hand a thief would me happy also. I also noticed that if I press home or back button, after I finished reading emails or whatever, it takes me back to the pattern lock.

I also use i9100 ICS 4.0.3, XWLPD stock ROM
[Android Apps and Games] DarienA:
I noted to myself that it bypass' my patternlock as well, but I assumed that this was intentional. Pressing the active app takes you directly to the app. Going this route I wasnt able to hold down the home key to bring up the task manager, and once I exited out of the app using the back or home key I was taken back to my pattern lock screen. I have NoLED set to display icons for a short amount of time so I wasn't concerned about any "hole" being created by activated this press to go to option.

With that being said you should probably make it clear in the instructions near this option, and in your own notes for users what enabling this option can do.

mm have you had any more thought on my text messages icon launches in to the txt messaging app when I'd really like it to launch in to gosms?
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

Am I the only one for whom the longpress option does not work?
[Android Apps and Games] karthikcs:
Raymond, did you try tapping and then long press??
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
thanks a lot for this feedback guys. it is so useful for me :)

1. I can confirm the first time issue. It seems NoLED doesn't really receive on focus until you tap somewhere on it. The second time you touch the screen and if it's correctly over an icon, then it'll do the vibrate once --> vibrate long pattern. couldn't solve this issue with the few methods I've tried.

2. Very interesting. I don't use the pattern unlock so I haven't experienced with it myself. I think what is happening is that NoLED is able to launch apps and stay on top of that pattern unlock screen for the entire duration. I'd be surprised if a user is able to get to the home screen from there without putting in the pattern unlock code. I'm actually a little surprised that Android allows apps to exist on top of the pattern unlock screen :rolleyes: That includes both my Android app and the other apps that I launch.

It seems it's an issue with audio reminders not working with your use-case. I haven't really programmed NoLED to act and activate stuff while it's currently on with the screen off. All the magic happens with the assumption that the screen is on and NoLED is actively being displayed. I'll try to replicate that problem and see if I can tweak audio reminder to start.

Right. I think no thief will be able to get beyond the apps launched from NoLED's screen. If someone is able to somehow get into the Settings menu or Home launcher, let me know ! I'm not that concerned though now because i do know that the lock pattern is still there in the back disallowing access to the phone's home/settings screens.

Good point. I'll add that bit to the 2nd post. About the text messages being launched by the default text messenger. i can definitely tweak that. I'm just struggling to come up with a way to put that in the settings menu without making it look worse. One of the ideas I had was to completely rewrite the three submenus (Icons,Colors and Toggle) into one menu where users are able to click on the alert type and decide if it's enabled/disabled, choose its color, and icon/dot settings. I can then add stuff like "when long pressed, launch this app instead". I'll need sometime to do that though, but for now you can try to enable GoSMS from Monitored apps and if noled is able to show a notification for it, long press and it'll launch to gosms.

do you have home button disabled under misc > dismiss buttons ? that could be the reason. enable dismiss with home if it is disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] t00dy:
I see a potential loophole how to enter into settings, however I don't have a Galaxy Nexus or the "right" ICS ROM to try it. The statusbar or notification bar is expandable once NoLED opens desired app, and for what I know GN has the settings button right in the expanded statusbar for easier access. Can anyone who has GN or maybe even an AOKP or AOSP ICS ROM try that?
[Android Apps and Games] DarienA:
Yeah I think some of the vendor roms have settings buttons and such in the notification bar as well, didn't think about that. In addition any outstanding notifications(or shortcuts to apps) on the notification bar are accessible (just checked on the regular AT&T ROM).

And yes I was able to enable GoSMS and pressing it takes you to the GoSMS app. It only generates a generic GoSMS logo icon (as oppose to text messages which generations the contact's picture icon), so right now I'll have to leave them both enabled so I can see who the text msg is from to decide if I want to deal with it immediately.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

Yes, but I have to be careful because I use the double tap to dismiss option too. I tried tapping once, then longpress, but no go.:( On the bright side, however, picture contacts have started to show up along with text messages for me. Before, I would only get picture contacts along with calls. And the app is initializing again like it supposed to.:)

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 PM ----------

Dooh! *Slaps forehead* Yes, I had it enabled when you told me to some days ago, but I disabled it again while I was testing. Sorry. Won't happen again.:o

---------- Post added at 06:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 PM ----------

That is an excellent point! Back a few versions ago on Doc Masters (AKOP Build 37 presently) which I am running, you could enter directly into Settings from the pull-down shade. However, in the last two versions, tapping that grid in the pull-down just hides or expands the toggles, brightness slider, and whatever else you have in the pull-down header. Maybe the devs realized this was an open door and changed it to this behaviour? So, maybe someone on one of those earlier versions could tell us?
[Android Apps and Games] auswill2:
I have been using NoLED for awhile on my SGS2 and luv it.

Ive now started using it on my SGS3 and there is a strange problem....

If NoLED is active in Accessibility settings what happens is if I pinch the Home Screen (ie Edit the Home Screen),

a voice comes on and says "Open Home Screen Page Edit"

Then if I select a page, it will say "Workspace 1 of 2".

Thats the only times Ive heard it say anything. I think this is what happens when Talkback is enabled.

I have tried force stop/disabling Talkback but that doesnt work.

If I turn off NoLED, but its still enabled in Accessibility, the problem is still there.

If I disable NoLED in Accessibility, the problem is gone.

It even says it if I have the phone on Silent. Other than that, everything else works perfectly. Its just a little annoying so I thought Id post it.
